Entities of the Astral

Many people think that we are the only beings that exist, but they are wrong. Many religions believe that other beings exist whether it's in the physical realm, astral, or other outer realms and planes. I personally believe that we share existence with other beings whether some might see them as fairies, angels, demons, or outsiders. In my years of paganism I have encountered a few entities in my travels in the astral plane. Below is a list of entities plus some pagan lexicon about other beings.

Entity Lexicon

Celestials- "Celestials" are referred to as the beings that reside in the upper astral realms. Celestials are beings that are imbued with pure positive energy, but it is not known for celestials to be the opposite way. Many people have referred celestials as angels, spirit guides, and guardian angels.

Demons- "Demon" is a blunt term to put it, but there is no other name I could think of. Demons are beings of chaotic energy and unlike their counterpart "Fiends" they freely dwell in the astral realms with complete freedom. An Example demon is a succubus/incubus.

Dragons- "Dragons" are creatures of legend, curiousity, and energy. Dragons are revered as massive creatures with gaping maws, a myriad of razor teeth, massive wings, and a reptilian appearance. In truth dragons may differ in appearance, color, and mood.

Elementals- "Elementals" are beings that are totally imbued and comprised of pure elemental energy of a specific type (earth, air, fire, or water). There is other known types of elementals (para and quasi), but they are rarer.

Fae- "Fae" of "Fairies" are beings that tie themselves with the forces of nature and protect it. Mythical fae include; pixies, sprites, dryads, and satyrs.

Fiends- "Fiends" are beings of pure negative energy and the complete opposite of "celestials". Fiends are confined to the lower astral, but it is not uncommon to see a few in the mid-astral realms. Example fiends are cornugons and mancubuses.

Spirits- "Spirits" are the emotional energy of a person whom passed away. A majority of spirits still retain their conscious memories that they kept in life, but there are few who have lost it or lost a proportion of it.

Vampires- "Vampires" do not refer to the creatures of myth that drink blood and turn to bats. These vampires are beings that leech off of other being's emotional energy in order to survive and nourish their energies.

NOTE: The names above do not describe every type of being that lies within the astral. The names above describe a few of the many common types of beings known.

Entity Templates

Incubus/Succubus

Homeplane- astral (mid and lower)

Entity type- demon (negative/chaos)

The Succubus is a foul demon that feeds off the emotion of lust. Succubuses are said to have sex with mortal men while their victim is asleep. The succubus appears to be a stunningly beautiful woman, but their true form discerns many in the astral with their large and black bat-like wings. The male counterpart is called an Incubus.

Mancubus

Homeplane- astral (lower)

Entity type- fiend (negative)

The mancubus is a vile fiend and horrid in appearance. It appears as a tall and gaunt figure with long arms and legs that end in nasty talons. Its body is oily and black and they have massive black wings with red tints to it. Its head appears very mundane with deep red pinpoints for eyes. The mancubus originated its name from its merciless killing of astral travellers.

Shadows

Homeplane- astral (mid and lower)

Entity type- vampiric-spirit (negative)

Shadows are spirits of ill-nature and their appearance shows it. A shadow appears as an inky human figure with gree glowing eyes and no known mouth. Shadows are the spirits of people who have died a tragic and horrible death (suicide, drug overdoses, etc.) and who have brought their depression over with them into the astral. Shadows are negative spirits who like attach themselves to prime astral travellers and feed off their negative emotions (hate, lust, deceit, etc.) and use it to fuel themselves. When an astral traveller wakes into the prime realm the shadow lingers in their sub-conscious whispering negativity into their minds and making the person's life horrible. There are ways to rid of a shadow, but it's very tricky and one must know what the shadow's desire is.

Spirit guides

Homeplane- astral (any)

Entity type- celestial (any)

A spirit guide is a celestial entity that helps an astral traveller from the prime realm get around the astral and show them the ropes. Spirit guides are your astral friends and guardians. Spirit guides appear anyway, but they share the same emotional alignment as you (positivity, chaos, or negativity). Spirit guides come from all forms of astral and take appearance from which they came (EXAMPLE: Positive spirit guides usually appear as angels, negative spirit guides usually appear as imps, and chaos spirit guides usually change their appearance erratically). It is quite possible for one astral traveller from the prime to acquire mutiple guides and of different origin.

Wraiths

Homeplane- astral (any)

Entity type- vampiric-spirit (any)

Wraiths are the spirits of people who have died and hunger for the lifeforce of other beings to substain their own. A wraith appears like a human, but with blackened features much like a silhouette. A wraith attacks beings by draining their life energy out of them and fueling themselves with it. Also the term "wraith" has been used to describe a spirit.
